I am late to the college bball season preview party, but fellow junkies, I have arrived! Just in time for the lackluster looking #B1GBasketball season to turn around as the competition heats up comes my 2023-24 Big Ten basketball season preview! sedlecky0.wixsite.com/bounce-bounce-…

@AndrewJav13r @ChelsElaina …game, but it’s the reality today. MSU and Michigan took the exact same number (4) of transfers into the 2025-26, it just so happens that Michigan’s have happened to be much more productive and probably better team/system/program fits too.

@AndrewJav13r @ChelsElaina Obviously we have different rooting interests and perspectives, but I think there’s a lot of straw grabbing going on here. May is playing the game as it’s currently played. I think many people from the fan base - myself included - wished this weren’t the current state of the…

There’s something off about Dusty May.. It seems none of the Big Ten coaches really respect him. Mentions Beilein and nothing about Dusty. What is it?

@AndrewJav13r @ChelsElaina You must also acknowledge that players who started at the school they are still at are still, you know, getting paid, right?? So by your logic quite literally every roster has been “bought, not built.”

@ChelsElaina Roster was bought not built

Aday Mara’s size and patience combination is lethal.

KOWABIDUNGA!

Bill Self’s ear bandage looks nearly identical to the president’s two summers ago. Will Self’s also heal as miraculously fast?

The rotation on Aday Mara’s new-found three-point stroke makes me think he’s been practicing with a Beilein Ball. Absolutely gorgeous backspin

Kentucky just replicated Christian Laettner’s famous “The Shot,” but this time maybe to save Mark Pope’s job.

1984 has unequivocally, unabashedly, undeniably arrived: the current federal government wants its citizens to believe it is the only source of truth.

Quite quite sure Josh Shapiro did not, in fact, speak on opening night of this, @Newsweek.

This is one of the most illogical, indefensible plans ever construed. Not a single person could successfully argue this would be a net benefit to the country.

And for as well as Michigan is playing, the refs have absolutely blown two calls going against the Wolverines.

Michigan currently playing like a kid who just opened a basketball video game for Christmas going through a season on easy mode and winning every game by 100.

@2ndChancePoints …B. Pearl’s “retirement” (or, his orchestrated succession plan leaving Auburn’s hands completely tied) was beyond cringe, and I genuinely don’t think I heard him say anything qualitative about Michigan until it was a 20-point game. Bad, bad, bad all around.

@2ndChancePoints Kindly disagree with the last part here. Frankly I don’t think anyone who is openly and strongly biased should be calling an entire game or long stretches beyond a quick pop-in. B. Pearl seemed like he hadn’t watched a second of UM before tonight and the video reenactment of….

Am I a curmudgeon if I find it deeply uninteresting to hear Chris Webber and Jalen Rose just go back and forth talking about Michigan w/ the we, us, etc? I feel like a grump but it just doesn't work for me. Pearl is making way more of an effort to be at arm's length from Auburn

The Bruce Pearl in the booth experiment needs to be over.

My quick, hard-hitting analysis: Michigan might be good.

Noticed this as well. Have to wonder about injury preventing rising sophomore LJ Cason from seeing the floor in the first half of Michigan’s opener vs. Oakland.

A dark cloud lingers amidst the brightness of college basketball’s opening day. This is an unfortunate and bitter reminder that the best things in life do not always last; immerse yourself in the joys you have at present.
